<p>could you explain the box question?</p>
<p>They take 1 inch off either side of each wall of the box (Reducing the box’s length and width by 2 (from 6 to 4) respectively.</p>
<p>By taking an inch off of the bottom (the black shaded in squares) it lets the sides fold up 1 inch higher. </p>
<p>It was deceptive if you only thought about the numbers.</p>
<p>*Got It Wrong</p>
<p>so what was the actual question?</p>
<p>haha “above average” for a perfect score on the amc…</p>
<p>i just basically think…sat math is meant to be easy and obvious, so if its taking u really long, its much more likely that you’re looking at it the wrong way than you actually not knowing it…
(crap that sentence sounds like something from the writing section)</p>
<p>Yeah, I messed up the cube problem too 
, the mistake everyone made with the 6 x 4 x 4. I can’t believe that I also screwed up on that one thing with 2000 even integers in a row and the largest minus the smallest. ten minutes after i finished the section, i realized i screwed it up (did 2002-2=2000, im a ****in idiot), when it should have been 1998. however, i did get the area of the shaded shape in the square right (18).</p>
<p>And Flare12345neo, which question are you referring to with the running problem? I don’t recall that one. Also, there was another problem which was something like x:y=2:3 and y:z=3:2 or something like that. Did you guys get like 5:6 or 6:7 on that one also? If anyone remembers.</p>
